MonstrumPanzer 1-10x24 First Focal Plane FFP LPVO Scope

We use Monstrum products almost exclusively in our shop for mounting scopes and optics.

I really like the MRAD reticle way more then the MOA. The turrets could be more crisp. The biggest thing I wished they would change is the reticle lines need to be thinner, otherwise, very nice scope. Monstrum does make excellent mounts.

I have been using Monstrum sights for airsoft for years now. The picture clarity is phenomenal, the adjustments are smooth, consistent, and hold without issue, the sight has proven to be more than durable enough for airsoft, and the zoom range on this new one is an absolute treat. The lens caps can be a little brittle, but getting better ones is cheap enough if you happen to break one.

The glass is great nice crisp view, 1x good for close quarters home defense and 10x great at the range also I was a M1 Abrams Tanker in the army back in 2004, Panzer in German means tank and I love that the adjustment turret caps and the magnification lever grips resemble tank tracks. It's no Vortex Razor but it's also $200 vs $2500 for the razor so it's definitely well worth it for a budget LPVO.

Super clear glass and holds zero well. Perfect scope for a ride around ranch rifle. Its bounces around the SXS and is still always dead on when pigs or predators happen to run by.

Cons: too damn long, wish it was shorter.Pros : good price for a 1st focal with illumination

I was hoping this would be a good budget minded scope. I have seen reviews on YT regarding this product. I thought the price point was good, so I jumped in to try it. Out of the box I was decently impressed. I managed my expectations due to the price point, but my initial impression was positive. I already had a monstrum mount, so I was able to install the optic. I properly torqued the assembly and moved forward with bore sighting. This is where the problems first started to show itself. After completing a visual bore sight, I began attempting to dial it in... This prove to be extremely difficult. After working through the frustrations of dialing 3 to 5 mil to move 1 inch, I decided to check my baseline. After completing the disassembly and checking my baseline, I reinstalled the optic. Again, I experienced the exact same issue as before. Ultimately, I cam to the conclusion that the optic will NOT hold a zero and will NOT track the input adjustments... I understand the price point and there can be quality issues.... I get that, but what's the point of making a product that WILL NOT function as intended...Learn from my mistakes...Stay away from the Monsteum brand...Pay a little more and these things won't happen...

The media could not be loaded. It's definitely a decent optic, far better than the snobs online like to say it is. Picture was bright, crisp, clear. Adjusting zoom and focus is smooth, has resistance to it.The included throw lever is great, very nice feature. Overall it's definitely a good value, solid choice for the money. I picked this up because I wanted zoom, but also 1x, a "do it all" optic. The reticle illuminates plenty strong, I honestly wish it had an option for green though (easier for me to see at lower power). I may come back to this one, but for now I feel like the eye box is too narrow for me to keep it. I can't afford to regret my decision, whatever I buy is what I'm stuck with. I compared this Panzer side by side with the Ladon 1-6x since that has similar magnification and size, but includes a small RDS. The 1-10 Panzer is definitely a stronger scope, but is heavier and a little longer.
